AMD Radeon RX 590 Review: Benchmarks And Overclocking 12nm Polaris

AMD has had a fairly sizable hole in its graphics card line-up for quite some time now. Disregarding the craziness crypto-miners caused for a while there, pricing on the Radeon RX 580 has hovered around the $200 mark, whereas most of the Radeon RX Vega 56 cards currently available sell for over $400 – give or take a few bucks. In addition, there have been no current-gen offerings released in between the two. Fortunately, AMD hopes to address this situation today, however, with the launch of a semi-new GPU, the not-so-secret Radeon RX 590...

AMD RX 590 Review

While 2018 so far has contained lots of talk about graphics cards, and new GPU architectures, little of this talk has been revolving around AMD. After having launched their long-awaited Vega GPUs in late 2017, AMD has remained mostly quiet on the graphics front.
As we headed into summer 2018, the talk around graphics started to turn to NVIDIAs next generation Turing architecture, the RTX 2070, 2080, and 2080 Ti, and the subsequent price creeps of graphics cards in their given product segment.
However, there has been one segment in particular that has been lacking any excitement in 2018—mid-range GPUs for gamers on a budget.

AMD's Radeon RX 590 graphics card reviewed

Morning, folks. I'm fighting intermittent power outages thanks to an ice storm in the locale of the TR labs last night, but that hasn't stopped me from collecting and digesting data on AMD's latest graphics card: the Radeon RX 590. The company didn't share a ton of details about this card with us, so I'll keep this short. The RX 590 uses the same basic Polaris 10 GPU that's powered the RX 480 and got a boost in the RX 580. This time, the performance improvements come courtesy of a move to GlobalFoundries' 12LP process, an improved version of the basic 14-nm FinFET technology that has underpinned AMD's CPUs and GPUs for some time now.

EVGA Z390 FTW Motherboard Review

It has been an interesting time for Intel CPU launches. As of this review we have seen two 9000 series CPUs launch for the both LGA 115x and LGA 2066. These were released in short succession. Neither of the new processors are all that interesting as they are based on the same basic architecture, same socket and same form factor. However, they do one thing extremely well.

They add more cores!

As with any new CPU launch we often get a refresh of available motherboards. Sometimes the new chipset is electrically the same so there is no reason to update anything and other times the chipsets remain the same and its the board that gets a facelift.

HyperX Fury RGB 480GB SSD Review

The really crazy thing about computer hardware is that sometimes it takes awhile to get a product launched. That isn’t a knock against any vendor or the industry it is just how things go. We first saw this SSD during CES 2018 and thought it was one of the coolest things there. Not so much that was a HyperX SSD but rather a quality HyperX SSD with RGB LEDs. We talked about this drive and other RGB LED products on the Hardware Asylum Podcast Episode 92 so be sure to give it a listen.

In this review we will be looking at the HyperX Gaming Fury RGB SSD. This drive is the 480GB model and as the name suggests it features RGB lights. HyperX has been known to build some really amazing SSDs and is one of the only, if THE only, memory manufacturer to actually use a quality shell over the SSD board. As I have mentioned in the past HyperX builds their SSDs from cast and machined aluminum parts that not only give the drive plenty of curb appeal but the feeling of quality in your hand.

HyperX Fury S Pro Gaming Mouse Pad Review

In a world of flashy keyboards and mice with RGB LED lighting, and gaming headsets with impressive virtual surround sound capabilities, it is easy to forget about a simple, yet important part of any gaming setup. While a mouse pad may seem trivial to many, it can be a critical component to others. Coming in all sizes and materials, mouse pads can play a huge part in having a comfortable computing experience. HyperX knows this, and has designed the Fury S Pro Gaming mouse pad with comfort and performance in mind. Can a mouse pad really make that much of a difference? Read along to find out!

Radeon RX 590 Review: AMD’s First 12nm GPU Hits 225W

AMD's Radeon RX 590 is based on a 12nm Polaris GPU designed to fill the void between Radeon RX 580 and Vega 56. While it certainly is faster, higher power consumption hampers the company's performance per watt ratio.

Radeon RX 590 vs. RX 580 vs. GeForce GTX 1060

While technically a new GPU, the Radeon RX 590 is in essence the same RX 580 with a 15% overclock. What we have here is Polaris 20 XT on the 12nm FinFET process, allowing for slightly better clock speeds. But what about pricing?

Road Redemption Review

Road Rash was the ultimate rental game. The Sega Genesis original and its sequels had an attention-grabbing gimmick – a motorcycle racer that let you pummel opponents with metal pipes – and just enough depth to keep you entertained for a weekend. Pretty much every 90s kid played Road Rash, but how many really loved it? Not a lot. Once video game rentals stopped being a thing, Road Rash drove off into the sunset and nobody was that broken up about it.

Well, almost nobody. Back in 2013, Road Redemption, billed as a spiritual successor to the Road Rash franchise, hit Kickstarter and narrowly made its $160,000 funding goal. After a lengthy spell in Early Access, the game got a full release on Steam in 2017 and now it’s come to consoles, which is where a Road Rash successor really belongs. So, does Road Redemption successfully update the Rash formula? Is it even worth updating in 2018? Time to take this one for a test drive…

Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Nitro+ Special Edition 8 GB Review

Sapphire's RX 590 Nitro+ Special Edition features an overclock on both the GPU and memory. What really helps against the GTX 1060 is that Sapphire included a "quiet" BIOS that rivals noise levels of the best GTX 1060 cards that we ever tested.

The AMD Radeon RX 590 Review, feat. XFX & PowerColor: Polaris Returns

When AMD launched the Polaris-based Radeon RX 480 in June 2016, the focus was firmly on the mainstream market, looking to offer superior value over raw performance. At the same time, AMD also sought to improve power efficiency by leveraging both microarchitectural changes and their first generation of FinFET GPUs. Ultimately, this straightforward approach was somewhat derailed by the recent cryptocurrency mining craze, but Polaris has carried on, appearing in consoles (Xbox One X and PS4 Pro) as well as an early 2017 refresh in the form of the Radeon RX 500 series. Launching today is the latest entry with new top offering in the RX 500 series: the AMD Radeon RX 590.

XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy Video Card Review

AMD introduced the Polaris GPU architecture with the introduction of the Radeon RX 400 series in July 2016. They then refined Polaris and launched the Radeon RX 500 series in April 2017. AMD must really like Polaris as here we are in November 2018 and they are bringing the AMD Radeon RX 590 to market with yet another enhanced version of the chip. It looks like this might be the last time that we write about a brand new Polaris GPU coming to market though as it looks like they pulled out all the stops this time around to get every last ounce of performance that can be had from this GPU. The card that we were sent to review is the XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy. Read on to see how it performs in 8 game titles and a bunch of synthetic benchmarks!

XFX RX580 Fatboy Review

Unlike Nvidia, AMD has actually had a few more recent launches, they all fell right in the middle of the coin mining craze though that played havoc on GPU prices and availability. The RX580 launched last April and then Vega came in August to fill some of the gap in the high end. The RX580 was a refresh of the popular sweet spot card, the RX480 that launched back in 2016. They were both on the Polaris architecture and here we are again with a new Polaris based card in hand. AMD is officially introducing the RX590 today, just two weeks short of two and a half months after the original launch. AMD surprisingly decided to stick with the 500 series naming and just slip in a card hoping to fill in the gap between the RX580 and the GTX 1070.
